Earlier on March 4, a high-profile BNP delegation led by its Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir met Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan to discuss the condition of Khaleda Zia’s health and her treatment.

BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia has been in jail since a special court convicted her in the Zia Orphanage Trust graft case on February 8 last year.

However, Shairul Kabir Khan, BNP chairperson's press wing official said: “We have not finalized the decision of taking Khaleda Zia to BSMMU yet.”

Dhaka central jail jailer Mahbubul Islam said: “Khaleda is still sleeping. If she wants to go to BSMMU when she wakes up, she will be taken there.”
